Importance of so-called natural monopolies in Kazakhstan can be seen in the fact that some of Kazakhstan's largest and most powerful corporate empires are officially subject to natural monopoly regulation.

Kazakh law provides for several methods of securing obligation. Obligations could be secured by penalty, pledge, surety, guarantee, deposit, withholding the debtor’s property, guarantee deposit, and other methods stipulated by legislation or agreement.

From a legal perspective, one of the possible options for implementing a project for the financing and construction of a power plant in the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - the 'Project') is the so-called 'concession' defined as: "activities aimed at the creation (reconstruction) and operation of concession objects and performed at the expense of the concessionaire or with co-finance by grantor" (Article 1.6 of the Concession Law).

Incredible but true fact: the people of the Republic of Kazakhstan are a small community which is literally sitting on huge riches an yet is still forced to ride on rough roads, drink water from the rust-eaten pipes and consume electricity from dilapidated electrical networks built up, as they say, ‘when queen Ann was alive’.

The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 4 July 2013 No. 131-V ЗРК 'On introducing amendments to certain legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan in relation to introduction of new forms of Public Private Partnership and extension of spheres of its application' came into force on 22 July 2013.
